Getting Indie Books into Libraries
Let’s support indie authors by requesting their books at our local libraries. By doing so, we can help increase the visibility and accessibility of self-published works, giving these talented writers the recognition they deserve. Supporting indie authors enriches our library collections with diverse voices and stories and fosters a community where readers and writers uplift each other. Join us in making a difference—one book request at a time! So, please review the list of books below and request as many books as possible from your local library or purchase copies to support the authors.
Are You an Author? Here’s How to Get Your Book Added to Our Self-Published Books List Step-by-Step Guide Step 1: Request any book listed below at your local library. P.S.: If you can’t request a book (or want to support authors further), purchase a physical copy (and leave a review). Step 2: Send an Email Email's Subject: “Supporting Fellow Authors Library Book Request” Include in the Email: a) Request/Purchase Proof: Attach a screenshot of your request or purchase to writerversejourney[at]gmail[dot]com. The purchase/Request date must be within the last two months. Ensure your name, purchase date, and order ID are visible. b) Your Own Book's Info: please include (typed!) your book's title, author name/pen name, ISBN, and direct links. Step 3: Approval Process Once we receive, audit, and approve your request, your title will be added to the list! That simple! Important Notes!!! - Each book request/purchase = 1 of your books added to the list. - The same book cannot be added twice. - This list won't accept activity books or low/medium content books. - Share this initiative to reach more authors and readers! - Make as many library requests or purchases as you can to help us grow together. Remember, requesting at libraries won’t cost you a penny! Tips for Getting Your Book into Libraries - Hardcover Format: Increases your chances of getting into libraries. Note that this doesn't mean other formats won't be accepted! - ISBN: Essential for library inclusion. - LCCN: Request a Library of Congress Control Number before publishing (USA) will be extremely beneficial. - Reviews: Reviews from sources like School Library Journal, Kirkus, etc., can boost your chances exponentially.
